Life's too short to eat bad food

Rotisserie & Wine – Napa, CA

I’m a huge fan of Tyler Florence already but this just confirmed it even more. Located in the heart of Napa with a patio facing the Napa River, he’s opened another fantastic restaurant that is the perfect spot for any occasion. A thanks to his wife Tolan, his personal interior decorator, the decor couldn’t be more or a perfect marriage with the food. Rustic yet refined, it’s a comfortable spot that has managed to still be current. Whether it’s a casual lunch (like i enjoyed) or a birthday get together, you’ve got to try it!

The best surprise ever was the warm cornbread that came out before our meal. I seriously could have eaten tons of it but had to remind myself of all the food coming. My husbands R&W cheeseburger looked incredible. With the fried egg on top it was a little hard to share so lucky him…he got it all to himself. My salad was perfect for the middle of the day, especially since we had the deviled eggs as starters.

And don’t forget about his tempting kitchen store next door – Tyler Florence West Coast Kitchen Essentials. I could spend all day in there:) Here’s where you can get your hands on the pots and pans Chef Florence uses in his restaurants and at home as well as other top brands. His spice rubs and marinades make amazing hostess and holiday gifts. I’d be amazed if you walked out without purchasing anything:)
